Hmmm...The only American Feast Day. Hope you all eat a lot! Get more feast days though, it is so much more fun to be able to gorge oneself 7-10 times a year.

So Turkey at thanksgiving, and Turkey at Christmas as well? So two months of Turkey? :sweatdrop:

Lots of folks do that (turkey for both holidays). The Kukri household does turkey for Thanksgiving, duck for xmas, and prime rib for new years.

Thanks for the good wishes, guys, and Happy Thanksgiving to you (and happy election to our Nederlander brothers).

Edit: Uh-oh. Turkey disaster... opened the bird up to prep, and no neck included. Gizzard, heart, liver, all check out, but no neck. Can't make proper giblet gravy without it. So I'm off on a mission to raise hell at the store (IF they're open) and get a neck. Wish me luck. :)

So the store are going to get it in the neck for this? :laugh4:

Best wishes all, two months of Turkey sound ok to me, so long as there's plenty of beer to go with it! :2thumbsup:

Ha! The sooper-dooper supermarket had none, ziltch, nada. :thumbsdown: The little girl behind the meat counter was about to cry, so I had to back off and make nice. ~:pat: She smiled at that, and whispered to me "Try El Tigre', I bet they have some." El Tigre' serves our Hispanic & Vietnamese neighborhoods (and is owned by Koreans from LA & Seoul).

They had plenty, at 70 cents a pound. :elephant:

And: amen to the beer thing! ~:cheers:

I think that's more smilies than I've used in a month.

Ah thanksgiving! Too bad I'm spending the weekend hammering out two final reports for school. Well I guess I'm thankful for the time to do that and the deliciousness of the donuts next to me and the cup of tea next to my computer.

Hope everyone has a great day, enjoy those turkeys! :balloon2: :balloon2:

I think it's a Turkey with a duck inside it then cooked. I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

Turducken is a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey. They are mostly made by professionals for the novelty value.

BLASPHEMOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:furious3: :furious3:

Uffff Thanksgiving dinner was a huge one. Lots of stuffing, more stuffing, and turkey, yes turkey, and wonderful cranberries, bright red cranberries, and massive mounds of mashed potatoes, gravy! with gravy over everything, oooh and candied yams, and pumpkin pie, pecan pie, apple pie, mince meat pie, and cake, white cake, fudge cake, carrot cake, and brownies lots of brownies! If you will excuse me I need to see an idoliter about a porcelain god.

Thats what I did... and now its the following morning and I STILL feel stuffed!

It is proof of my severe anti-social problem when I read such an extravagantly cumbersome work like Les Miserables right after the Thanksgiving meal instead of talking to people. -.-"

In any case, happy and full, I'm off to bed!

My second favorite thing about Thanksgiving is the couple of days after. Free wondrous left overs for days! And you still can't be yelled at for eating too much because if nobody eats the left overs they'll go bad, and nobody wants that now do they?

*Off to have some candied yams and cheesecake* Yes, I know it's 7 in the morning where I am...and I don't care! :beam:

That isn’t the neck in there; you must have gotten a girl turkey. :wink:

(at least that is what my grandpa use to tell us, perhaps this belongs in the fibs thread ~D)

No way. Turkey is dry enough roasted, fried its practically tasteless.

Lucjan

Maybe you aren't roasting it right. You have to soak that bugger in his own juices! Make that bird swim I tell you!

Believe me, my grandmother has been making turkey for Christmas for forty years and she usually bastes it like nobody's business. Yet still it comes out dry and bland. Turkey is just a tasteless meat.

Lucjan

The trick is wrapping it in tin foil, but leaving the bottom and top open so the bottom can soak and when you baste it, the tinfoil holds the juices against the sides where it belongs, it doesn't just run right down to the pan again.

Gah don't boil the Turkey! Just don't over cook it. And most importantly let it sit for 30 minutes before cuting it. After it's cooled you wont have the moisture runing off as steam, it helps quite alot.

Deep Frying it usually if done right makes it come out far moister.

Deep frying also makes it mroe fattier, thus giving you a heart attack lol :-)


Turkey leftovers suck, because it's really is tasteless..
